FDF response to the Meaningful Vote on the Government's proposed Brexit deal

“Tonight's result is another body blow for the country and the UK's largest
manufacturing
sector. As we teeter on the brink of the cliff edge, just seventeen days' away,
confidence in our political
leaders is almost gone.

“We can only hope that members of Parliament, tomorrow and on Thursday, will
vote decisively
- and act accordingly - to take a 29 March 'no-deal' exit off the table. We now
need breathing space in
which a clear way forward can be found.”
